Meta India Corporation External Policy Officer to Join Samsung Electronics Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] According to multiple sources cited by Bloomberg News on the 15th (local time), a person who has been in charge of external policy at Meta Platforms' India branch, the parent company of Facebook, is expected to join Samsung Electronics' India branch next month to take on a similar role.

According to the report, Meta announced on the same day that Rajiv Agarwal, who had been handling external policy since September last year at the India branch, and Abhijit Bose, who was in charge of WhatsApp, have left the company. One source said, "(Agarwal) will be responsible for cooperating with government officials and handling policy-related issues within India at Samsung."

This announcement came shortly after Ajit Mohan, Vice President of Meta's India branch, moved to rival company Snap on the 3rd. Meta emphasized that the recent consecutive resignations of executives are unrelated to the recent mass layoffs of 11,000 employees announced at headquarters and stressed that the India branch remains a priority.

Bloomberg conveyed the atmosphere, stating, "While Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to make India an electronic manufacturing powerhouse like China, Samsung has appointed someone to handle external policy-related work."
